The Zodiac Wavy Chart for next year is now ready. Here is a glimpse of it:
Also ready is its companion, the free Astronomical Calendar for 2020.
And both are now complete for 2017, 2018, and 2019.
If you click the “Astronomical Calendar” tab above, you will see the links to the online Astronomical Calendars. and can open each with a click. Each is a list of about 620 events for its year.
And if you go to https://www.universalworkshop.com/zodiac-wavy-charts/, you will see immediately how to get the Zodiac Wavy Charts for any of the same four years.
The Wavy Chart idea grew out of charts in the former Astronomical Calendars books. Those charts were at first for the Moon, but came to be richer in information and to cover four large pages in each year. Some users have kindly told us they wish they could close the gap in their collections – be able to trace the sinuous patters of the heavenly bodies’ movements continuously through the series of years. Well, now that can be done – the gap is closed.

In 2020 these patterns will become even more interesting. It’s a year when Venus takes a course far enough north to traverse the Pleiades.
And it’s the long-awaited year when the two boss planets meet – when Jupiter overtakes Saturn (with, as it happens, Pluto in the background).
